Puscha-Vodytsia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puscha-Vodytsia (Ukrainian: Пуща-Водиця; Russian: Пуща-Водица) is a historic neighbourhood and climate resort in the northwestern part of Kiev (Kyiv), the capital of Ukraine.
Puscha-Vodytsia was named in 1724; the name was combined from two Ukrainian words, puscha (пуща) which stands for a dense forest, and Vodytsia (Водиця) the name of a nearby river.
In 1899, a dacha settlement was founded in the Puscha-Vodytsia forests. Later on, Soviet sanatoriums were located in the settlement, as well as in other settlements nearby. In 1981, the village acquired the status of an urban-type settlement, subordinate to the Podilskyi Raion (district) of Kiev, later subordinated to the Obolonskyi Raion in 2002.
A 1910 church designed by Eduard Bradtman still stands in the city.
